Summary

Laws Erased explores the fascinating history of repealed and obsolete laws, revealing how their disappearance reflects profound shifts in societal values and power structures. Understanding legal change offers a unique lens through which to view the progression of human civilization. A key insight is that the erasure of laws isn't merely administrative; it signifies fundamental transformations in our understanding of justice and social norms. For example, the decriminalization of homosexuality in various countries illustrates a significant change in social attitudes and human rights. The book examines legal change through both formal processes like legislative repeal and informal mechanisms such as social movements. By analyzing case studies, such as the repeal of racial segregation laws, the book details the historical context, reasons for demise, and consequences of removal. Beginning with core concepts of legal change, Laws Erased systematically progresses through case studies and concludes with broader implications for contemporary society and law reform. This approach offers valuable insights for students, legal professionals, and anyone interested in the evolution of law and society.

    “This engrossing collection of historical Midwest murders reads like a thriller. True crime at its best. I couldn’t put it down.” —Susan Furlong, author of the Bone Gap Travellers novels 
     
    A modern retelling of 20 sensational true crimes, No Place Like Murder reveals the inside details behind nefarious acts that shocked the Midwest between 1869 and 1950. The stories chronicle the misdeeds, examining the perpetrators’ mindsets, motives, lives, apprehensions, and trials, as well as what became of them long after. 
     
    True crime author Janis Thornton profiles notorious murderers such as Frankie Miller, who was fed up when her fiancé stood her up for another woman. As fans of the song “Frankie and Johnny” already know, Frankie met her former lover at the door with a shotgun. 
     
    Thornton’s tales reveal the darker side of life in the Midwest, including the account of Isabelle Messmer, a plucky young woman who dreamed of escaping her quiet farm-town life. After she nearly took down two tough Pittsburgh policemen in 1933, she was dubbed “Gun Girl” and went on to make headlines from coast to coast. In 1942, however, after a murder conviction in Texas, she vowed to do her time and go straight. Full of intrigue and revelations, No Place Like Murder also features such folks as Chirka and Rasico, the first two Hoosier men to die in the electric chair after they brutally murdered their wives in 1913. The two didn’t meet until their fateful last night. 
     
    An enthralling and chilling collection, No Place Like Murder is sure to thrill true crime lovers. 
     
    “Thornton wittily describes heretofore unheralded true crime stories from Indiana’s small towns.” —Keven McQueen, author of Horror in the Heartland

    Being a novelist is a pretty sweet deal. You daydream, you type, and people pay you! There are possibly a few additional steps, but that’s why you need this book. It will walk you through the process of turning your imagination into polished, professional stories that people will pay to read. Make money doing what you really want to do: WRITE! James Maxey has more than twenty years of experience publishing novels through mainstream publishers and the indy press. He's taught numerous workshops, been a guest speaker at libraries and museums, and been honored as a Piedmont Laureate. He writes stuff and gets paid. You can too! 
    Samples: 
    "Little by little the writing gets done. A book emerges from the ether, to join its brethren in the great library of mankind. I am the author. Of all possible lives I might have chosen, this one feels right." 
    -- 
    "When I was working on my first novel, then my second, then my third, I kept thinking there would come a day when, finally, I’d have it all figured out. There’d be some novel writing process I could follow again and again that would allow me to write books with far less hassle and strain. Eventually I realized that hassle and strain are the process." 
    -- 
    "I almost hate to tell you about the false solution. Once you’re aware of it, you’ll never be able to read books or watch movies without this narrative slight-of-hand being obvious. From this point on, you’re a magician who knows how the woman gets sawed in half." 
    What critics are saying: 
    "Positive, solid advice offered in a breezy, useful way. It's going on my small shelf of writing books." — Gary Cohn

    The concept of smart cities has emerged as a transformative force in urban development, redefining the way people live, work, and move within urban spaces. At its core, a smart city integrates advanced technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and big data, to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of urban infrastructure. By leveraging these technologies, cities can address the growing challenges of population density, resource management, and environmental sustainability. 
    One of the key components of smart cities is their ability to connect and optimize various urban systems. Transportation networks, for instance, are becoming more interconnected and intelligent. Sensors embedded in roads, traffic signals, and public transit vehicles gather real-time data that helps manage congestion, optimize routes, and improve safety. In cities like Singapore, smart traffic management systems have already reduced travel times and minimized emissions, showcasing the potential of technology-driven solutions. 
    Smart cities also prioritize sustainability by incorporating green initiatives and resource-efficient systems. Renewable energy sources, such as solar panels and wind turbines, are increasingly integrated into urban grids, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Water management systems, equipped with IoT sensors, monitor usage and detect leaks to prevent waste. These efforts are particularly important as cities strive to achieve climate targets and reduce their ecological footprints.
